KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) \u2014 With runners on second and third, Lane Thomas<\/a> delivered a three-run homer in the 10th inning to lift the Kansas City Royals<\/a> over the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> 11-9 and sweep the series.<\/p>\n

It was Thomas\u2019 first home run of the season and the first walk-off RBI of his career.<\/p>\n

Joey Lucchesi<\/a> (0-1) took the loss, facing four batters in the final frame. Lucas Erceg<\/a> (2-1) earned the win.<\/p>\n

The Angels held a 7-4 lead when the game was delayed in the bottom of the seventh for severe weather. The Royals had two on and no outs with Bobby Witt Jr.<\/a> at bat. It resumed after one hour and 29 minutes, and the Royals tacked on one run with a sacrifice fly to center by Vinnie Pasquantino<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Salvador Perez<\/a> pushed another run across in the top of the ninth, and Jac Caglianone<\/a>, who entered the game as a reserve in the eighth inning, tied the score with a two-out, two-run homer that landed just inside the right-field foul pole.<\/p>\n

Angels shortstop Zach Neto<\/a> led off the game with a single and scored on a two-run homer by Mike Trout<\/a>. The home run moved Trout into first place in franchise history with his 797th career extra-base hit.<\/p>\n

Neto struck again in the second with an RBI double, and Adam Frazier<\/a> added another in the four-run inning.<\/p>\n

The Royals got on the board in the fifth with an RBI single from Isaac Collins<\/a> and Witt\u2019s two-run homer in the sixth. Angels starter Reid Detmers<\/a> was replaced after walking the next batter. He allowed five hits and three runs in five-plus innings.<\/p>\n

Royals starter Seth Lugo<\/a> allowed 14 hits and seven runs in 6 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

The Angels head to Chicago, where RHP Jos\u00e9 Soriano (5-0, 0.24 ERA) will face RHP Davis Martin<\/a> (3-1, 2.01) of the White Sox on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Royals open a three-game series in Sacramento, where LHP Kris Bubic<\/a> (2-1, 4.08) will face RHP Aaron Civale<\/a> (2-1, 3.86) on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
